Jeremia 21
1 Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah, fony Zedekia mpanjaka naniraka an’ i Pasora, zanak’ i Malkia, sy Zefania, zanak’ i Mahasela mpisorona, hankany aminy hanao hoe:
The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashhur the son of Malchijah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
2 Masìna ianao, manontania amin’ i Jehovah ho anay; miady aminay Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, angamba Jehovah hanao aminay araka ny asany mahagaga rehetra, mba hialan’ ireo aminay.
Inquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us: peradventure the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
3 Dia hoy Jeremia taminy: Lazaonareo amin’ i Zedekia hoe:
Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:
4 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, haveriko ny fiadiana eny an-tananareo, izay entinareo miady eny ivelan’ ny manda amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona sy amin’ ny Kaldeana, izay manao fahirano anareo, ka hangoniko eto afovoan’ ity tanàna ity ireo.
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands; wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans which besiege you, without the walls, and I will gather them into the midst of this city.
5 Ary Izaho no hiady aminareo amin’ ny tanana ahinjitra sy amin’ ny sandry mahery ary amin’ ny fahavinirana sy ny fisafoahana ary ny fahatezerana mirehitra.
And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
6 Ary hamely ny mponina amin’ ity tanàna ity Aho, na olona, na biby: ho fatin’ ny aretim-be mandringana izy.
And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
7 Ary rehefa afaka izany, hoy Jehovah, Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy ny mpanompony sy ny vahoaka ary izay sisa tsy matin’ ny areti-mandringana sy ny sabatra sy ny mosary amin’ ity tanàna ity dia hatolotro eo an-tànan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, sy eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony sy eo an-tànan’ izay mitady ny ainy; dia hamely azy amin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ireo, fa tsy hitsitsy na hiantra azy, na hamindra fo aminy.
And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, even such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
8 Ary ity firenena ity dia hilazanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, ataoko eo anoloanareo ny lalan’ ny fiainana sy ny lalan’ ny fahafatesana:
And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
9 Izay mbola mitoetra eto amin’ ity tanàna ity ihany dia ho fatin-tsabatra sy mosary ary areti-mandringana; fa izay mivoaka hanatona ny Kaldeana izay manao fahirano anareo kosa dia ho velona, ka ny ainy no ho babony.
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth away to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
10 Fa efa manandrina ity tanàna ity Aho hahatonga loza aminy, fa tsy soa, hoy Jehovah; hatolotro eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ity ka hodoroany amin’ ny afo.
For I have set my face upon this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
11 Ary henoy ny tenin’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny taranaky ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny mpianakaviny.
And touching the house of the king of Judah, hear ye the word of the LORD:
12 Ry taranak’ i Davida, izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Mitsarà isa-maraina, afaho amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpampahory ny alona norobaina, fandrao mivoaka toy ny afo ny fahatezerako ary mirehitra ka tsy hisy hamono noho ny faharatsian’ ny ataonareo.
O house of David, thus saith the LORD, Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
13 Indro, hohatoniko ianao, ry mponina an-dohasaha, dia eo amin’ ny vatolampy amin’ ny tany lemaka, hoy Jehovah, dia ianareo izay manao hoe: Iza moa no sahy hidina hamely anay? Ary iza no sahy hiditra ato amin’ ny fonenanay?
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, [and] of the rock of the plain, saith the LORD; ye which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
14 Fa hamaly anareo araka ny vokatry ny asanareo Aho, hoy Jehovah, ary handrehitra afo ao amin’ ny alany, ka handevona ny manodidina azy rehetra izany.
And I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in her forest, and it shall devour all that is round about her.
